Offers increased headroom with an organic and open tone while maintaining the clarity and response that EMG's are renowned for.

The EMG SA-X active single-coil pickup features close aperture coils loaded with Alnico V magnets and powered by a newly designed preamp, the EMG SA-X provides a vintage Strat single-coil sound: bright, airy, with a rich bottom end, all with virtually noiseless operation. The Alnico V bar magnet allows for the output to remain balanced during string bends, and makes for a playability and reliability that is unrivaled. The creamy midrange warmth and sublime blues tones are clear, strong, and expressive and allow you to reach from classic and clean, to rowdy and raunchy. Give the SA-X pickup a try and experience why the "X" factor is exciting players all around the world.
